6 Months Later
"Sirius Junior is already saying his first words!" Sirius said.
"Sirius Junior? Last time I checked his name was James Potter the second," James said.
"His name is James Sirius Potter," Lily said, annoyed by the childish behavior.
James Sirius Potter was sitting on the couch next to Harry, who was reading the Prophet. Teddy Lupin was sitting in a chair across from them, reading a book. The doorbell rang. Harry got up. It was Ron and Hermione with the newborn baby Rose and Victoire (They were babysitting).
"Hello," Harry said. He was confused because he didn't know they were coming. Ginny walked in the room.
"Hermione! Let's go!" She said, taking her purse.
"Go?" Ron and Harry said, almost at the same time.
"We are going to a... what do you call it?" Ginny asked Hermione.
"A spa. We are going for a day out," Hermione said.
"All of us?" Ron asked.
"No. You and Harry are going to look after the kids," Ginny said, walking out the door with Hermione.
"Alone? Wait-!" Harry called but Ginny just laughed.
"Have fun." Hermione said, handing Rose to Ron.
"So I guess we are- what do muggles call it- Babysitting." Ron said, after the girls left.
"This should be interesting," Lupin said to Sirius, who was also watching.
"So what are we supposed to do?" Harry asked.
"I have no clue." Ron replied.
"I'm hungry," Victoire said.
"Me too!" Teddy said, still not looking up from his book.
"I guess we feed them," Harry said, walking into the kitchen.
"What do you want?" Ron asked.
"I don't know..." Teddy said. "Food."
"What kind of food?" Harry asked, trying not to sound impatient.
"Foo!" James Sirius said.
"Yes James, Food." Harry said.
"What do you feed kids?" Ron asked.
"I don't know... what do kids like?" Harry said, searching cabinets.
"Candy!" Ron said, a little too loudly.
"CANDY!" Teddy and Victoire yelled.
"RON!"
"Sorry... Do you have any candy?"
"Let's just give them some licorice wands... we have a jar of them." Harry gave them some candy. Suddenly, James Sirius started crying.
"Foo!"
"I think he's hungry, Harry." Ron said.
"I know Ron! But Ginny just fed him about twenty minutes ago!"
"OW! Teddy, stop it!" Ron turned around and saw Teddy pulling Victoire's hair.
"Oi! Teddy!" Ron cried, running over.
"She took my book!" Teddy wailed.
"I just wanted to see what he was reading!" Victoire said, in tears.
"Now it has girl germs!" Teddy said. "Wash it!"
"You can't wash a book, Teddy." Ron said, handing the book back to Teddy. Teddy objected.
"Do magic on it." Teddy said. "A spell that will kill girl germs!"
"There is no spell-" Ron started.
"Ron, just do a spell!" Harry yelled.
"Umm okay... Babbity Boo," Ron said, making up a fake spell on the spot. He waved his wand and suddenly the book flew in the air.
"MY BOOK!" Teddy yelled.
"RON!" Harry said, trying to feed James Sirius, who was still crying loudly.
"I didn't know that was a real spell!" Ron said, trying to cope with all the chaos.
"We were lucky that Harry wasn't a troublesome baby," Lily said to James.
"J. S. probably got it from you, Prongs," Sirius said to James.
"I was not a troublesome baby!" James said.
"J.S?" Lupin asked.
"It's weird calling someone by my name and I haven't called this James anything but Prongs for the last twenty years!" Sirius explained to Lupin.
"Teddy looks like a troublesome child," Tonks said.
"Couldn't of gotten that from you, Moony."
James Sirius was crying, Teddy was jumping on the couch trying to get his book, Victoire was screaming and Rose suddenly burst into tears. Ron was comforting Rose while trying to find a way to get Teddy's book down. Harry was trying to find something James would eat and was trying to get Teddy and Victoire to calm down with more candy.
"It's okay, Rose," Ron said, trying to get Rose to sleep. "Pappity Poo!" Ron said desperate for something to happen. The book just hit the ceiling.
"I NEED IT! UNCLE HARRY CAN YOU PLEASE GET IT FOR ME?" Teddy screamed.
"I don't know what the bloody-"
"LANGUAGE!" Ron warned Harry.
"-stupid spell Ron did was." Harry said, trying to get James Sirius's vomit of his shirt.
"It was BABBITY BOO!" Ron yelled. The book started spiraling around the room.
"NO!" Teddy wailed. "VICTOIRE YOU ARE A MEANY BUTT!"
"NO YOU ARE!" She screamed, tears flowing from her eyes.
"Don't fight guys! Let's play a game!" Harry said, trying to get them to be quiet.
"I"LL NEVER PLAY A GAME WITH A GIRL LIKE-"
"SILENCIO!" Ron yelled. The whole room fell quiet.
"Thank you, Ron." Harry said, taking a deep breath. "Finite Incantatum"
The silencing charm was lifted and the book fell back down.
"Thank you Uncle Harry!" Victoire and Teddy said together.
"Can I read your book with you?" Victoire asked Teddy.
"Sure!" Teddy said, sitting next to Victoire. He opened the book and put it across both of their laps. Rose was asleep in Ron's lap and Harry found food James would eat. Just then, Hermione and Ginny walked in.
"Hey guys," Ginny said.
"Aww, you guys did a good job!" Hermione said.
"I hope they weren't too much trouble," Ginny said.
"Not at all!" Harry said, hiding his shirt's vomit stain.
"Good!" Hermione said, picking up Rose. "Ginny and I are going to the mall next friday and you will need to take care of them again!"
NOTES: Thanks for all of your guy's reviews and comments. They are all really helpful. Now I'm kind of skipping around through the future... for big moments in Harry's life. I hope you guys like it! Sorry I didn't post this yesterday- the power was out. :) I know this chapter didn't have many watcher conversations in it... I'm sorry about that. There will be more next time!
